Whew...is it really that time of the year again? Christmas has snuck up on me again. We have been so crazy busy that I haven't had much time to post anything new. Emma had a chorus performance at school last week. They did an amazing job - it was definitely one of the best concerts I have ever seen (in elementary school). We finally got our Christmas tree and decorations up last weekend. That was much later than we usually do, but now I feel better. Jonathan is so busy with work that he is hardly ever home. We are looking forward to Christmas break. He is taking some time off, so we will enjoy our time as a family. Ms. Beth had her annual visit from Santa today. It's always a lot of fun. Santa comes and reads a story to the kids. Each child gets a present and they get to tell Santa what they want for Christmas. Logan wants a Lego table and Owen wants a DS. Emma (Miss Social Butterfly) decided to go to her friends house instead of going to see Santa. She just wanted to make sure I would bring her her present and some of Ms. Emily's sugar cookies. My baby is growing up. She'd rather be with her friends than see Santa - I guess I knew it would happen sooner or later.
We have received the best Christmas present this year. For those of you who don't know, my father has had a drinking problem for a very long time. I received a call from him the other day telling me that he was getting help. I am so incredibly proud of him - I love my dad...he is an amazing man when he is sober. Well today he went off to detox and rehab. It is going to be a very difficult road ahead, but we are hopeful that we will get our dad back. We are going to miss him at Christmas, but we are so thankful that he made this huge step. Please keep him (and Mom) in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you Dad...we love you!
Happy Holidays!

That is amazing news and I know this has been a huge stress in your life. I will pray for him - I am sure Christmas will be hard for him this year. I will call you b/c I want the deets! We'll be home for Christmas so let me know if you've got a few hours free. No pressure :). merry, merry
